Travel to Indonesia with Rumput and Classical Revolution RVA in the sixth of a 7-episode series of short performances celebrating our 8th birthday!
These performances have been recorded over the course of the pandemic and were either funded by our Coronavirus Relief Fund or donated by the performers to the cause. With the community’s assistance, we have been able to help over 80 performers recoup a total of over $13,000 in lost income, which is only a small fraction of the amount lost due to COVID-19.
Donations (https://www.classicalrevolutionrva.com/donate) received with the note "Birthday Bash #6" will be shared with the performers and will help Classical Revolution RVA meet our $4,000 fundraising goal, which will allow us to continue our efforts to help local musicians!

Rumput is a Richmond based Keroncong band. Keroncong is an indonesian style which developed from the use of western instruments beginning in the 16th century.
Today's selection, "Lowlands of Holland" is an Irish folk tune which has been remade in the style keroncong with shadow puppetry. Today's performance was recorded remotely by the members of Rumput with a special appearance by Mas Soladi, all the way from Indonesia! Rumput is generously offering their donations to support struggling artists in Indonesia, from whom they have learned so much."
A concert length production with Classical Revolution RVA musicians and Rumput is also forthcoming.
Follow Rumput on facebook and check out Mas Soladi as well!
